She was recently invited to speak at Smith College’s Presidential Colloquium, which “regularly features influential thought leaders in a wide range of fields to share their expertise, offer insights, and inspire discourse on key social, political and global topics.”

Maddow spoke about what she thinks the public can expect from President Trump’s time in office and the current political climate in the United States. She also gave advice for how Democrats and those opposed to the current administration should proceed to enact change.
